wmf (wmfout) placed in PageMaker 6.5 Plus - not printing 1

[kalgem]

I have created wmf files from AutoCAD 14 and then placed in PageMaker 6.5 Plus. The document on the screen is pefect, but prints without the wmf. I am using a HP 8100N printer and Microsoft ME. FYI - printer driver has been updated.

Hi, kalgem,

I'm quoting from the Adobeforums FAQ:

"FAQ: 3.9 - AutoCAD drawings"

First have the autocad file saved as a DXF. Then open that file using Illustrator or CorelDraw.

Do a find & replace> replace objects> Replace Objects Pen Properties and increase the line width. You will have to experiment to find the thickness that works best for your docs.

Save the file as EPS.

You may also export the file as a TIF if the same images are used in other apps and printed locally to non-PostScript printers.

Use file>place to import the images into your PM docs."

see also: "Limitations of Metafile Formats (EMF, WMF) When Printing PostScript from PageMaker"

Hope this helps.

Iechyd da! John
